In 2021, I wrote, “As Perimenopausal Women with Power Tools neared its pub date in spring, 2020, I envisioned a book release party. In addition to a short reading, there would be food, drink and conversation—a tribute to the lively evenings my characters shared throughout the book.”
Nearly three years after PWWPT made its quiet entrance into the world, I’m on the cusp of realizing that dream. Please join me on Thursday, May 4 at 7:00 p.m. for a Perimenopausal Women with Power Tools Anniversary Celebration and Reading at Fact & Fiction.
Some of you will be with me in spirit.
My two biggest fans will partake from their celestial vantage points.
Grateful for all of you, I’m reminded of additional words from that 2021 blog post: “My parents modeled flexibility and resilience. They also taught me the art of friendship.”
Congrats Karen! 3 years already…. Wow!
Great pictures with the family and Mom and Dad ❤️
Thanks, Lynn. I love those photos too!
I will be there in spirit! PWWPT is such a wonderful book, and I hope many, many people have a chance to enjoy reading it.
You were instrumental in shaping Beth’s story, Jan. I’ll feel your presence from afar!
Congratulation Karen! But unfortunately I am having health issues again and I won’t be able to attend. Hope you have a great turnout!
Thanks, Mary. I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. While writing PWWPT, I often reminisced about our Friday Lunch Bunch gatherings. I treasure those shared memories!
Hey, Karen! I read. your book right after it came out. Time to reread it! 🙂
I love the pictures you have posted here too! Hugs!
You were an early champion, Mona. Thank you! I just started a reread too—I love my characters.
I envision a crew in the heavens…at the Butte reading, Dad banged his mug on the table, trying to quiet other patrons. That picture and memory always makes me smile. Hugs to you too!
I’m so sorry I will miss your reading. I’ll be enroute to Toronto to visit family.
Congratulations on your book , Karen, especially after such a long labour.
Jeannie
Thanks, Jeannie. I still marvel at your and Karin’s NYC adventures with your inaugural book!
Safe travels.
My goodness Karen!! I am very excited for you! Congratulations…I will try to be there!
You amaze me with your accomplishments. I admire you so much!!!
I miss our Friday Lunch Group too! Let’s have a reunion!!!
Thanks, Dani. I’ll be wearing one of your bracelets so you’ll be there in spirit if not live.
Your jewelry making amazes me! And yes, a Friday Lunch reunion sounds wonderful!
I will be with you in spirit, Karen. Congratulations! I loved the book and think of you often. Much love and hugs.
Aah–your tender words rushed memories of our serendipitous meeting at Missoula Public Library 32+ years ago! Love and hugs to you too.
I’ll be there! Congratulations 💙
Thanks for coming, Kathy. It was great to see you!
I too am with you in spirit my talented friend!! God bless you as you celebrate this accomplishment and feel the love from near and far!
I did feel your presence, Ame, and shared that you and your “Menopausal Ladies” were the inspiration for the book. Thanks again!
